Twelve weeks in: the honest numbers

Twelve weeks ago I started writing everything down. Here is where it stands. No filters.

The numbers

• Bodyweight: 88.4 kg to 85.8 kg
• Squat: 130 kg to 150 kg for a single
• Deadlift: 175 kg to 185 kg for a single
• Bench: 100 kg to 97.5 kg. Yes, down.

What happened to the bench

I tweaked my shoulder in week five doing dips I had no business doing. Two weeks of light pressing, then a slow build back. It is moving again now, but I lost a month.

Next twelve weeks: keep the squat going, get the bench back past 100, and stop doing dips.
